Javelina - Dan Moody's Exotic Trophy Hunting Services

Javelina are medium-sized Peccaries , with a strong superficial resemblance to pigs. Like pigs, they have a snout ending in a cartilagenous disc, and eyes that are small relative to their head. Also like pigs, they use only the middle two digits for walking, although, unlike pigs, the other toes may be altogether absent. Their stomach is non-ruminating (non-cud chewing) although it has three chambers, and is more complex than that of pigs. One of the ways to tell apart pigs and peccaries is the shape of the canine tooth, or tusk. In European pigs the tusk is long and curves around on itself, whereas in peccaries, the tusk is short and straight. The jaws and tusks of peccaries are adapted for crushing hard seeds and slicing into plant roots, and they also use their tusks for defense. By rubbing the tusks together they can make a chattering noise that warns potential predators not to get too close. Javelina, indeed, are aggressive enough in temperament.

Hunting Season is year round with good animals of tusk lengths averaging 1.5 to 2 inches.

If you're the type of hunter that likes to hunt 12 months a year, you've come to the right place. I offer monster exotics and action packed hog hunting. Exotics are hunted on foot, if you are able. We do have blinds if needed. You will pack 3-5 miles a day, so wear comfortable boots. Most shots will be between 100-300 yards. Please have your weapon sighted in and know where it is hitting at 100 yards. If you are a bow hunter, no problem! We have well placed stands.

Meals and lodging are available for this hunt.
